A Point to Remember


In the current political platforms
and speeches, it is well to remember
that nearly every evil or abuse in
the government which it is proposed
to remedy, is a legacy of republican
rule.
There is surplus revenue Of
81 %, 100000 year now collecting.
1t is product Of a republican tax
system, which the representatives of
that party in the last two Congresses
have voted solidly against taking
up for reduction
The federal Offices in some of the
States have been largely distributed
as political patronage, OF bestowed
as rewards for party zeal. This was
the theory and practice in all the
States and with all the offices for
twenty-five years under republican
administrations.
The country needs no navy. 1t
decayed and disappeared under the
rule of the Robesons and Chambers,
though $20,000,000 year was spent
on it for score of years after the
close of the war;
There are rings to be broken,
land -grabbers to be checked, corpor-
ations to be curbed, plutocrats to be
thrust back from places of power.
But they all grew up and fourished
under republican misrule.
A democratic administration has
not done all that was hoped and 'ex-
pected of it. Yet this does not
furnish a reason why even an impa-
tient people should jump from rather
cool frying pan into consuming
fire.
The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1887-08-21

1t is fact worthy of serious con-
sideration, and one which must
strike with great force the mind of
every intelligent man who reads the
political platforms which have been
put forth recently, that all the evils
rccited in said platforms and all
ments of the body polite which need
treatment are the result and out
growth of republican legislation
The surplus revenue, which is an.
nually being covered into the U. S
Treasury, instead of the pockets Of
the people where it rightly belongs
is the natural consequence of the so
called protective policy of the repub-
lican party, which protects and en-
riches favored few manufacturers
while it robs and impoverishes the
army of consumers the demands Of
the people for correction of this
evil, by reduction of taxation, have
also been rendered abortive, hereto
fore, by the united opposition Of the
republican party, assisted by few
rcpublicanized democrats, to every
measure looking to the much needed
relief. The bitter complaints that
TIM public domain has been squan-
dcrcd and diverted from its legiti-

Its True Inwardness.

Jim Mason, better known as the
"buttermilk" editor of the Vest Vir-
ginia Democrat, has been for the
past two or three weeks, pouring out
through the columns of the afore-
said sheet, his malignant wrath upon
Collector McGraw, and with the
rawlings of lunatic, calls upon the
President of the United States to
GUST McGraw from the position he
occupies. The President, Of course,
will pay no attention to such men as
Mason, because McGraw's record as
faithful and efficient official stands
second to none in the whole revenue
department of the Government.
McGraw was a Camden man, there
fore, the enmity of Mason.
Maj. j. G. Anderson, who was Nc
Graw's opponent for the appoint
ment, was backed by Mason and all
of his allies, on the grounds Of his
opposition to Senator Camden; but
it seems Anderson was playing false
to them while seeking the appoint
ment to said position. The Major
wrote Senator Camden, making him
many and radiant promises as tc
what he would do for him if the Sen
ator would secure his appointment
The appointment went to another
and Anderson become one of Cam
denis most bitter opponents. Thai
letter is still in existence, and, il
published, would make very inter
estiDg reading. Mr.. Camden was
too much of gentleman to have
Mr.. Anderson exposed, notwithstand
ing the bitter fight said Anderson
was making upon him. Now, We
have this proposition to make tc
Mr.. Mason. If he will get the con
sent of Maj. Anderson for the publ
cation of that letter, we will try ano
obtain it from Mr. Camden, and give
it to the press Of the State, that the
public may judge Of the causes
which led certain gentlemen to be
tray their party. Such a publica
ton would place Anderson and GER
tain other gentlemen in IN unenyia-
BILE position.

AN Ex.uNIoN SOLDIER
Relates fhe Experience Of His COM
pauJ with Waynesburg Sop
9perheads. r
TO the Editor Of the NEwDoaIN1oN:

TO the Editor of the NEw, DoNINIoN.
1 gave you some time ago a de-
scription of the reception Of Capt
Utt's Company Of cavalry in 1862
by the patriotic ''rads'' of Kingwood.
/ now propose to give you an ac-
count of our reception by the cop
perheads of Waynesburg, Pa. After
leaving Wheeling we stopped that
night at place locally known rs
Haneytown. Although it contained
only twelve or fifteen houses. the
boys were all housed and our horses
well taken care of. Our next point
was Waynesburg. We had three or
four men Of the Fairchild stripe in
orr company who grumbled consid-
erably about going through that
copperhead hole of Waynesburg. "
When within seven or eight miles of
the place we met a man who told us
that the people Of Waynesburg had
heard of our coming and were forth
flying and planting cannon to resist
our passage through the town.
This created CONSERVATION in the
company. A number of the men in
sisted on turning off and going some
other road, but brave Capt. Utt--
and there never was Drawer or
more honorable man said we would
pass through Waynesburg or leave
our dead bodies in the streets.
When we arrived at the outskirts OF
Waynesburg Capt. Ut gave com
mand for every one to be ready to
draw sabers if necessary, and we
then charged up into town in trot.
We did not meet the enemy until
we halted in front of the court house,
then we were surrounded and cap
tured by the citizens without any
resistance on our part. The only
complaint 1 heard from the Waynes-
burg "copperheads" was that there
were not enough of us; that quite a
number of them did not obtain as
many prisoners as they desired and
several who were behind time did
not get any. Never did any men
enjoy being prisoners as we did that
night, We were Toasted on the best
Waynesburg had. We slept in good
beds and some of these "copper"
heads slept on the floor and gave
up their beds to our boys. Oul
horses were well cared for and the
next morning when we were set free
we were very loath to leave. Before
going Capt. UT came to me and
told me he felt very bad because he
had ordered charge upon the towr
and then were received with so much
kindness and hospitality by the
citizens. He requested that | should

mate purpose of furnishing homes to
actual settlers, who would aid in de-
yeloping the country, is due to the
wasteful extravaganza Of the repnb-
lican party in substituting railroad
syndicates, without the slightest re-
gard as to whether they carried out
their part Of the contract or not, Civ
ing away the peoples property, in
fact without "quid pro quo'' The
shameful decadence of our navy is
inexcnsable, inasmleh as immense
sums Of money were annually APP
propriated for building new ships,
and keeping in repair those already
built, which were misapplied, or IN
accounted for by former republican
fsecretaries. The almost total disap-
| pearance from the seas of American
merchant vessels is due to the un-
just tariff laws enacted by the re
publican party, the operation of
which is to exclude this country in
a great measure from the commerce
of the world. The democratic party
has been striving vigorously to APP
ply the proper remedies for all these
evils, and has made commendable
progress, considering the opposition
it has had to encounter. In regard
to recovering the public lands and
the restoration of the. American
Navy to its pristine glory, a Demo-
cratic Administration has done a
great deal, but, as before stated, all
efforts to revise and equalize the tar
if laws have up to this time been
baked by republican opposition,
and it is by far the most important
question before the American peo-
pie to-day. The democratic party
pledges itself to persevere in its eff
forts in the direction Of reducing
taxes, and the republican party, if
the platform promulgated in Ohio
lately, is to be taken as the keynote,
is determined to continue its oppo-
sition. In view of these facts, which
are SO plain that wayfaring men
cannot fail to see them, there can be
no doubt but that the interest of the
masses of the people lays.in the reten-
tion of the democratic party in pow
